Making Some Changes

Well, the time has come to make some changes. I've been feeling sort of guilty the past year or so, as I haven't been in school and have basically just been partying and waiting tables. I'm 22, and I feel like I'm not headed anywhere fast in life. My five year reunion is coming up in the spring, and I don't really feel like showing up with the life I have right now.

I do have an Associate's Degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management at least. But I'm growing weary of the restaurant industry sort of. The place I'm at now has been my comfort zone for a little over four years now. I feel I'm a great server, and I am very popular with the regulars, but it's not the place I would like to work at much longer, let alone try to move up in.

This week my goal is to apply at hotels around town. I would like to try that end of the industry. I feel like my skills and work ethic would take me better places in hotels. Also, I'm not opposed to the long hours, but I think they would be slightly less stressful than a restaurant's hours.

...So that pretty much wraps up my career rant/revelation...

Now onto another area in my life. My lack of exercise. I used to work out a lot in highschool. I was always obsessed with weight loss and ALWAYS thought I was overweight. Now I would kill to be at that weight. I always bounced between 140-150 then. Within the past few years of alternating Weight Watchers and getting lazy I have ended up at...183. WOAH. While it could always be worse, I never thought it'd get to this point. So, what am I thinking I'm going to do?

I'm going to start a 9 week 5K running program.

I've had a lot of stuff on my mind, most of which is related to me stressing about my weight. I think running, or really any kind of workout would be thereapeutic and good for me...REALLY GOOD FOR ME. So, with the aid of google, and some motivation I will be doing the first workout today. I'm hoping it goes alright. Whenever I start working out I always get impatient, and this time I CANNOT let myself get like that!

Well, off to start the day : )
